Hello All! Here is the next chapter, I am soo sorry that it is delayed! Bad week at work! I am exacting this revenge by writing and posting this chap at work! More bad news however, I am being forced into family vacation until the 13th of August! No internet or anything! (I think I just vomited a little in my mouth)

Hopefully I will have some time to do some writing and I will post lots when I get back.

Without further adieu, here is the story!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"What…I…you…." Angela stuttered.

"Seeley, is that you?"

Booth turned and looked into the red rimmed eyes of his mother.

"Yeah Mom, it's me."

He was pulled into a crushing hug, his mother sobbing tears of joy.

"What's going on? I don't understand." She said.

Booth pulled away. "There was an undercover assignment and my position got compromised. I had to pretend that I was dead in order to…well it's confidential, I can't really get into it."

"Son, its so good….we thought…" Booth's father said, pulling him into a hug.

"I'm sorry Dad, it just had to happen this way." Booth said.

"So was the marriage a fake too?" his father asked.

"Absolutely not." Booth replied. "She's here right?" he said, turning to Angela.

Angela nodded, unable to speak.

"Please Angela, I need to see her." He said urgently. "Where did she go?"

Angela turned in the direction of Christine Brennan's grave and saw her friend coming over the hill.

"She's right there."

Booth looked and his breath hitched at the sight of her. He was running before he even registered it.

"Temperance." He shouted, his words lost in the wind that swirled around him.

He stopped suddenly and cupped his hands over his mouth.

"Bones!" he shouted.

She whipped her head around in surprise. He was there, standing 25 feet away. She shook her head and blinked, thinking that it was a dream. But when she opened her eyes again, he was still there.

She moved towards him and soon they were both running again and then they crashed into each other, like waves hitting the shore.

"Booth, Booth" she repeated, her face buried in his neck and her arms tight around him as if she was never going to let him go.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I won't leave again, I promise." He said fervently as he stroked her hair.

Pulling apart, he looked her in the eyes.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." She replied. And then his lips came crashing down on hers and her arms went around his neck. Pouring all of their emotions into that kiss, they both felt it radiate through every part of their body.

They pulled apart, panting, but it was only a second before her lips were on his again and then she began peppering kisses all over his face.

He laughed, for the first time in a long time and soon they were both chuckling as he picked her up off the ground and swung her around.

"I missed you so much." She said softly.

"I missed you too." He replied, getting choked up. Never had he felt like this before, like he couldn't live properly unless she was there. Already the memories of his cold, lonely existence of the last two months were fading as she held him in her arms.

And, as if God agreed, the rain stopped and the clouds parted.

They stood there, drinking each other in, for goodness knows how long before they were startled by the ringing of her cell phone.

She flipped it open and answered.

"Brennan."

"Dr. Brennan? It's Rebecca. I just wanted to let you know that I think I am just going to take Parker home. It's been a hard day and…"

"No wait!" she interrupted. "Can you bring him by the cemetery?"

She saw Booth's eyes light up.

"It's really important. Just for a moment, please."

"Well I suppose. I will be there in a few minutes."

"Okay." She replied. "See you then."

Brennan hung up her phone and turned to Booth. "She's bringing by Parker."

"How did he take it?" he said worriedly.

"He understood." She replied. "We should go…" she gestured to the small group standing nearby.

"Right." He replied, taking her hand in his and leading her over to where everyone was.

"Hi guys." He said to Hodgins and Zach, who were both stunned by his appearance.

"Good to see you man." Hodgins grinned, clapping him on the back.

"Yes, I'm glad your back, Agent Booth." Zach said.

"I'm glad I'm back too." He replied. He really did miss the squints. He turned to his parents.

"I don't know if you have been formally introduced yet, but Mom, Dad, this is my wife, Dr. Temperance Brennan." He squeezed her hand for effect.

"Hi." She said shyly. "I….I wanted to apologize. I'm so sorry that I had to call you but it had to happen so that Booth's cover wouldn't be blown. "

"It's okay." Booth's father said. "Please call me James and this is my wife Stella."

She shook their hands. "It's nice to meet you."

A car door slammed and Booth looked towards the parking lot. There was nothing for a moment and then…

"Daddy!" Parker shouted, running towards him.

Booth let go of Brennan's hand and bent down, anticipating his hug.

Parker slammed into him and almost knocked him backwards.

"Hi Daddy!" Parker yelled.

"Hi Parker." He replied, blinking back the tears in his eyes.

"I don't understand."

He looked up and saw Rebecca there with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Rebecca, I was undercover, I…"

"How could you do that to him?" she said angrily.

"Wait." Brennan said, moving forwards. "You don't understand, Parker knew."

"What?"

"Parker knew that Booth wasn't dead. I told him last week."

"You told him?" Rebecca said confusedly.

"One of the reasons that Booth and I got married was so that I could tell Parker that he wasn't really dead if a situation like this occurred. We didn't want Parker to deal with that."

"I kept a good secret, didn't I, Dr. Bones?" Parker said, pulling away from Booth and standing in front of her.

She knelt down and brushed the curls out of his face.

"Yes you did."

"Don't cry, Dr. Bones" Parker said, seeing the tear tracks on her face. He cupped her cheeks with his small hands. "Daddy's back now so you can smile again."

She gave a soft smile. "Okay."

Parker turned back to Booth. "Now can we go to Wong Foos?"

Everyone chuckled.

"Everyone's at Wong Foos?" Booth asked.

"Yeah, I thought…" she trailed off.

He grinned. "Perfect! I've been dying for Sid's."

"We will have to go in first and explain." James said. "We'll meet you there."

Booth nodded and turned to Brennan. "Can I have the keys?"

She shook her head. "I'm driving."

"Yeah right." He smirked. "You've had the SUV for two months. Besides, you know that I always drive right?"

In a flash, he scooped her up into his arms and flipped her upside down.

"Seeley!" she shouted, as the keys fell out of her pocket and on to the ground.

He set her back down and grabbed the keys off the ground.

"Thanks." He said, giving her a short kiss on the lips.

"No fair." She grumbled.

And then he turned and flashed his charm smile at her and her heart pounded rapidly.

He was back.
